While I’d love to comment on your apparent need to continue whining (oops, I guess I just did), I’ll instead acknowledge what you already did, that not every show appeals to every person. In my case, it’s also BMG. Specifically, the concert on the DVD they were selling, which was very different from the Proctor’s show. I’ll skip the reasons, so as to not give you ammunition, but I’m glad I wasn’t in the audience for that one, as the show was very much NOT what I would be looking for in a BMG show.

And on a personal attendance level, I need look no further than Stomp at the Palace many years ago. I went twice, several years apart. Excellent show both times, except that they were the exact same show. I felt ripped off the second time because I didn’t think I would be attending a repeat. It’s fine when you know up front that’s what you’re getting, but not when you expected new material.

I didn’t say you were the only one with your opinion, just that you were in the minority, and the crowd reaction would support me on that. By all means, don’t go again. It’ll be one more ticket available to someone who WILL enjoy them. Everybody wins.

I stopped for something to eat and drink close to proctors and a few couples agreed with me its over rated so Im not the only one who think they suck. Everyone has their own opinion on whats funny and I dont think its funny. If you do thats your opinion ReepDaggle. But your right alot think its funny or they wouldnt be selling out places making millions its just not for me. but that doesnt mean I have no sense of humor. No big deal I think they suck!! maybe ReppDaggle has stock in the blueman group?? I dont mean to affend you!

How about next time you just stay home and spare yourself the self-induced bad time, and everyone else your whining?

Mon, 18 Apr 2011 14:20:05 +0000http://blog.timesunion.com/localarts/?p=15689#comment-14362Apparently Tony had both his blinders and earplugs on, because Friday’s show was brilliantly hilarious. I’d only ever seen their performance on the Grammys a number of years ago, so wasn’t sure what to expect for a full show. I got 90 minutes of non-stop exuberant fun. Late in the show my butt (or any other of the riotously funny descriptive terms they used) was getting sore, but after the on your feet party, I could have sat for another hour or more.

Thankfully, I don’t eat Twinkies anyway, and this show won’t make me start doing so anytime soon.

Mon, 18 Apr 2011 11:35:39 +0000http://blog.timesunion.com/localarts/?p=15689#comment-14352Saw BMG on Sunday. It was a fun show, but I think the tickets were really over-priced. They spent entirely too much time with the ‘texting’ bit. I think they could have added some better stuff in those spots instead. Felt as though something was missing. Maybe a bigger theater could have offered more. Smaller theater, smaller venue I guess.
